Excellent journalism from Sophie Doughty there, by the way. 1. Cut and paste the text from the Police press release/website. 2. Bung in three or four sentences from the paper's archives at the end. 3. Job done. 4. Whisky!

http://ww1.northumbria.police.uk/ePolicing...ntDocs/NWS02781 Side-stepping the obvious hand-wringing about "binge drinking" and that, what troubles me is that, given the opportunity, I probably still "would".

Pete strikes me more as an erstwhile "Sounds" reader.

Tell them to stop hitting Judy and feeding their baby on sausages too.

I wonder what sort of timetable we're looking at for this tantalising, exotic fare. I imagine that arranging tea and coffee-making facilities, sourcing bread and beef etc must be a logistical nightmare that would make the recent Beijing Olympics look like a walk in the park in comparison.

Two bad teams. It's dropping points against rubbish like this that will get Newcastle relegated. cf. Stoke, Wigan, Man City, Hull. Disappointing.

Not for nothing, but could you two take this !*!@# to MSN or Facebook or something? Thx.

Yeah, 'cos I always make my choice of boozer based on what's on this website. This no doubt explains the raging success of The Dun Cow, whose landlady never poured a pint without reporting it in full on here.

Happy birthday and that, Dennis.

Just fourteen shopping days 'til Valentines Day, folks!

This is the bit where I stopped believing.

I'm only 19, so I never really drank in pubs before the smoking ban. However, my older friends tell me that the smokers would have little compunction in blowing their disgusting smoke in your face and that going home with smoke-ruined clothes was a regular occurrence. If you're at work, whether in a pub or anywhere else, you shouldn't be smoking all the time. You should be doing your job.

Thank you, Rory Bremner.

A return to a pub full of ignorant c*nts blowing their cancerous fumes in my face and going home in smoke-stinking clothes? No thanks.

Nice people they may be, but I prefer pub workers to show more interest in serving pints than enjoying a succession of soothing cigarettes.

If you're short on your dough, there's a place you can go. Apparently, it's "fun" to stay at the YMCA.

A few too many cold ones, Brian?

I heard* that Suggs has taken to marching against racism and homophobia. It's just Madness gone politically correct. *via Popbitch.

Do the Doggy Bounce!

Ah, my poor sweet pretties, I appear to have misled you. There is no likelihood of rubbing shoulders with the extended Followill family in the dear old Railway, merely the chance to hear their entire back catalogue via the jukebox should you stay longer than an hour. Also, you are never more than four records away from "Mr Brightside" by american popsters The Killer. The pub also boasts the best-looking ladies darts team in the tri-county area. Yes, even purtier than those hotties from The Monkey.

If you're a fan of the musical stylings of The Kings of Leon then The Railway is the watering hole for you.
